One day to live

As i have read the news today, i found out that Steve Jobs, former Apple CEO passed away early this morning(Manila time). Indeed Mr. Jobs, made a big impact to the IT industry by promoting new innovations thru ipods and iphones.

As i've continue to browse the news about details of his death. I've read an article "Steve Jobs Speech: How to live before you die". It was Mr. Jobs commencement speech June 12, 2005 at Stanford University.

He told 3 stories about what he learned about life, it is quiet long, but as i continue reading, i found out that his third story was the most inspiring one. On his third story, he talked about death. His experience and reaction to life and other things.

I like what Mr. Jobs told the crowd "Death is a destination we all share". We only live once in this life, and after that death will come. Nobody escaped death he said.

In our lives today, we often missed the opportunity of having great time with our family, friends and most importantly, our God. If we will be honest to ourselves, we rarely talk to God about what our life's status. I remember one story entitle "God loves story" when God asking how much a man loves Him. Just like the man thought he was answering great, he was asked difficult questions about his love for God. A man has no answers but tears.. as God continue to ask him, he can not even say a single word. But thankfully God still told him how much He loves him.

We may encounter difficult moments in this life, it might knock us down, or even sometimes knock us out. But no matter what, how many times we get knock out, what's more important is how many times we got up. It's an old saying "It's not how you begin, but how you finish". And remember that for every things we say, we do and we make people around us feel.. It will define who we are in the future.

If you only have one more day to live, how will you spend it?

BTW Happy birthday to my Dad! :)
